Can you tell the difference between Marijuana plants and Tomato plants?
I'm always baffled by stories like the one in the link above and yet I'm not sure why. It has happened at an increasing rate in the last decade. People who are using their small space to grow food are being targeted and their food supplies are being destroyed under the reasoning of "code violations." Code violations... really. Yet we see no violations when big corporations spray our foods with poison and then ship it out to millions for consumption. No codes broken except for the (oft forgotten in big business) moral code of "Thou shalt not poison the masses." I know some may think this is not a huge deal but it does happen often. I suppose I could link a few more articles showing my point but right now I'm too upset and frustrated and I don't feel like furthering that feeling by revisiting more articles on the same topic. But if someone out there reading wants more information or examples, I'll get it to you.
I guess from all of this my point is simply this: educate yourself and be aware of small liberty violations. Bottom line: It is our rights as humans to grow our own food on our own property. And it's horrible and scary to think that others are threatened enough by this basic desire and right as to destroy something as peaceful and harmless as another persons garden and food source.
